UAV Propulsion System
The world-class 40S engine is the result of over 80 year’s combined engineering experience. Delivering superior performance, it combines a modern rotary engine with patented SPARCS cooling technology for unrivalled performance and economy.
The world-class 650S engine produces a stunning amount of power from a small, compact and easy-to-integrate unit. Perfect for use in UAVs/RPAS, sports motorcycles, high performance vehicles and as a range extender, this clean, efficient and economical engine is the result of 80 years of development, design and manufacturing experience.
The unrivalled power and durability of AIE lightweight rotary engines are guaranteed through the use of revolutionary new technologies that effectively eliminate drawbacks found in many other rotary engine developments.Access to the latest discoveries from leading names in rotary engine design together with advanced manufacturing capabilities enable AIE to pass on unique benefits to their customers through patented technology as detailed below.
AIE patented SPARCS (Self-Pressurising-Air Rotor Cooling System) is rewriting the rules in rotary engine design with the advanced ability to utilise pressurised gases from the combustion process as a medium for cooling. By means of an external heat exchanger to deliver superior heat rejection and a completely sealed engine core, SPARCS provides AIE Wankel rotary engines with longer endurance and zero oil loss for increased performance.
